Cooking Steps

1
  • To a medium pot, add 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-15 min. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
2
  • Meanwhile, separate bok choy leaves, then cut into 1-inch pieces. (TIP: Rinse bok choy leaves to wash away any hidden dirt!)
  • Thinly slice green onions.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together apricot spread, vinegar, soy sauce, half the cornstarch (use all for 4 servings) and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. [tester, start with half the water - not sure about amount of liquid to match with half the cornstarch]
3
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with half the garlic salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Sear for 3-4 min per side, until chicken is golden and cooked through.**
  • Remove from heat. Transfer chicken to plate.
4
  • Reheat the same pan (from step 3) over medium-high. Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then bok choy, garlic and 1/4 tsp chili flakes. (TIP: Use 1/8 tsp chili flakes for a milder flavour and 1/2 tsp for spicy!) Cook for 1 min, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and bok choy is slightly softened. Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper.
  • Add sauce mixture and return chicken to pan. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until chicken is warmed through, bok choy is tender-crisp and sauce thickens slightly.
5
  • Divide rice, chicken, bok choy and sauce between bowls.
  • Sprinkle with green onions.
